Trump cites ‘progress’ in Japan trade talks

President Trump reported progress in trade talks with Japan, seeking to prevent tariff increases. After meeting with officials, he praised productive discussions by the Treasury and Commerce Departments.

Although the talks did not immediately halt tariffs, Japan’s chief negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, confirmed that further rounds of discussions are scheduled for later this month. They emphasized the importance of reaching an agreement swiftly, especially before the end of a 90-day tariff reprieve. While currency issues were not addressed, speculation arose concerning Japan’s defense spending.

The Japanese yen weakened against the dollar following the talks, reflecting market concerns. As countries race to negotiate with the US to prevent high import taxes, Japan aims to propose a comprehensive deal in exchange for lowering levies, highlighting its significant investments in the US.
